[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The number of students that accepted to be listed in the magazine are about 60 out of ~100. My kid ('26) knows at least 3 more accepted at UMD and not in the magazine. 
He never heard about a colleague being accepted at MIT and going to UMD (that person might very well exist).[/quote]

We'd probably choose UMD over MIT because of the cost and wanting to pay for grad school.  Not everyone can pay $100K a year.[/quote]

This kid got a free ride to MIT (Questbridge) and turned it down for UMD[/quote]

Sure dude stop

It surprised me too. Not sure if they got the Banneker Key or something else but what UMD was offering plus living at home made more financial sense apparently. Not our role to second guess what someone else decides.

My own Blair magnet kid won’t be applying to any ivies or MIT as there is zero chance we can afford the $100k a year that they cost.[/quote]

If you can't afford then your kid might very well receive financial aid. Did you try their cost estimators?[/quote]

Yes and like I said we don’t have $400k lying around, plus another $800 for the other two kids.[/quote]
